Please pray for my baby

[kuietgrl (got lost)]

I don't post here much anymore, but I'd just like ask anyone who can, to pray for my 2 month old baby. She's been in the hospital since Wednesday morning and I have no idea when she'll be able to come home.

She had a high fever and they don't know what's wrong with her. They've done blood, urine and feces cultures, chest x-rays, a lumbar puncture, CAT scan and have an IV in her with antibiotics right now /ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif Almost her whole arm is taped up from the IV. She's been poked, proded and violated so many times she cringes when someone touches her /ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif And to make it worse, there was blood in her diaper this morning.

If you could just keep her in your thoughts, it'd be GREATLY appreciated!

[DogsRule]

aw poor baby....have you asked them to send you to sick kids?

She's in my thoughts and prayers, I hope she gets better soon!

[Lollypop]

good thoughts and prayers sent your way

[MaO3]

Awww Kuietgrl. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

[kuietgrl (got lost)]

They were talking about sending her somewhere out of town if her CAT scan results showed blood in her brain fluid, but it was OK.

[DogsRule]

Have they done an ultrasound?

You know what? Call Dr Mulsteins office, he is the best in Sault Ste Marie, seriously. He saved my brothers life countless times, and he saved my daughter.

He was mine and my brothers ped and my kids ped, but just ask him if he could give a 2nd opinion.

[DogsRule]

oh, Dr. Mulstein is @ the group health centre.

[kuietgrl (got lost)]

They're doing an ultrasound today.

[DogsRule]

good, hope they find whats wrong

[deltamouse]

DogsRule - Unfortunately, Dr. Mulstein (spelling is wrong, I think) has retired and moved to Ottawa! He was the best. He was my doctor too, and was amazing at what he did!

Your little one will be in my prayers!!

[KelBear]

[everywoman]

Sending good thoughts your way girl...........

[Muse]

aww hunny. You guys need some Jester-bulldog love? ;-)

I'm sorry. I know how scary it is. My son's had to spend time in the hospital a couple times when he was a wee little gaffer. I told my dad to make sure she gets extra special lovin at the hospital (he's an RT there) when he goes into work, and he said the doctor in Peds is great.

We're all thinking happy thoughts for you!

[Ocean]

I will keep your little one in my prayers to get better soon and to keep you strong.

[Babzz]

positve thoughts going your way....
hugs to you

[mags]

Good thoughts and prayers for your little girl.

[A*lil*Loopy]

Good thoughts coming from all of us too! I feel for you during all this stress, hopefully things turn out well.

[LadyNina]

I'm so sorry to hear this. I saw Dilli today, and he told me the news. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. If you need anything at all, we're here for you.... just a phone call away.

[adigirl]

Prayers and thoughts are with you. Stay with the doctor you feel the most confidence in. If you don't feel confident in the one that is helping (and I am not implying that it is the case right now), don't be afraid to advocate for a change. I did.


When my little guy was in NICU, I lost confidence in the treating doctor and let him go. I switched to his current pediatician whom I have the utmost respect and confidence in (he had to agree to the switch for it to happen, thank god he did).


SusyQ sends her thoughts and prayers as well.

[kitca]

lots and lots of good thoughts and prayers for your baby and family.

Angel’s Love



I’ll pray for you today,

For an Angel to pass your way.

That her arms might hold you,

And that you feel it too.

Sometimes they’re by your side,

But it seems like they hide.

I’ll pray that you’re aware,

And know how much they care.

I’ll pray they softly whisper,

The things you need to hear.

I hope you feel an Angels’ caress,

And all her tenderness.

They leave the sweetest memory,

Of how life’s suppose to be.

I’ll pray that you’re aware,

Everyday and everywhere.

That an Angel’s love follows you,

And walks where you do.

Dr Mulstein is awesome...He was my pediatrician....Dr Stevenson too is great...

[lnocent]

oh poor baby. My son had a mysterious illness as well when he was 6 months old. Kinda sounds like what is wrong with your baby, fever, etc. they ran all the tests too he stayed in hospital for over a week and never did find out what was going on. They figured that it was a virus of some sort even checked or mennagitis (sp?). Anyway he is 17 years old now and is fine (as fine as a 17 year old can be haha). Be strong and be positive. Just to plug Dr. Zufelt is a great ped. as well. Hope all goes well.

[Kristina Bourdage]

My families prayers are with you, your little girl and your family at this time.

[leafs93]

Sending out good thoughts, good vibes and my prayers to your little one and your family.

[LadyNina]

Anyone have any word yet on how the baby is?

[Chako]

I sincerely hope everything is alright.

[westend mama]

I know how hard it is to see your little one like this. It happened to us also. They did alot of tests, even called in a surgen to look at her. She was on IV`s. So sad. I was a basket case. I never left the hospital. Our Ped was on holidays, they called him back , he came. She did get better, and all we could find out was that it was some virus. That was over 15 years ago, and Dr. Lam came to take care of her , cutting his holiday short. He is a very good doctor as well. Prayers and good wishes are with you.

Thanks adi. I couldn't respond because I was on vacation but hope the baby is doing better. She's in my thoughts and prayers.

[adigirl]

Any word on this poor little one? I'm very curious as to how the baby is doing. It is comforting to hear that others have gone through similiar experiences and things came out good in the end. Nothing is much scarier to a parent than a sick child no one knows what is wrong with.

[adigirl]

Nevermind...I see in the health section that she is doing better and has a flu virus. Responded to her post there.

[MaO3]

I just went to check out the posts adi, aren't these two different people? The health and wellness is Kelbear, and this one is Kuietgrl?

Unless I'm missing something.

[katste11]

Kelbear and Kuietgirl are not the same person.

[AmdWolfman]

I'm sure your going through alot right now also, my prayers go to your baby and you and your family.

[adigirl]

That is the second time I have mixed up two people on this board lately. Sorry!!


*sigh* I need to get my neurons firing again lol

[SusyQ]

Hey your hormones are racing right now mommy your forgiven. We all make mistakes.

[adigirl]

rofl...love the signature file

[kuietgrl (got lost)]

Thanks so much to everyone for keeping us in your thoughts!!

Baby is home now but no where near done with her tests. They're going with a urinary tract infection. She is on antibiotics indefinitely until they do more tests.

In a few weeks, she's going back to have a catheter inserted into her bladder to inject a dye. Then they're going to see if urine is splashing back towards her kidneys and if it is, she'll be on antibiotics until it corrects itself (could be up to a year, I'm told)

So, thankfully it wasn't anything more serious! She's back to her happy, giggly self again.

Thanks to all the nurses who were so nice to us for our week long stay there! (except the triage nurse.) /ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

[MaO3]

Im glad to hear that shes better. Thanks for updating us.

[tammywillow]

They sometimes need operation. My daughter was operated on when she was 6 because her urine was going back up to her kidney infecting her. She was two when they found out she had a prob.
She was on meds until the operation. Its a very simple operation they do at sick kids in T.O. Now its 3 years later and no prob.

[tippikitty]

I'm glad she's on a road to recovery.

My youngest son has hydronforisis (sp) and this is one of the test he had to do, its Not as complicated as they make it sound, the Dr let me be in U/S when they did this, he also had to have one done in nuclear meds, as they ingected die in him! and watched it move on the monitor, both tests are very informative!! good luck, I know when its kidneys they never tell you much, two yrs later and im still dealing with it, nothing near what I was going through when he was born!!

[KelBear]

My son has hydronephrosis too.. they say that he should grow out by the time he is 9 or 10. He is 9 now and he hasn't had a problem for a year or so.

[Mr & Mrs Allyyyzkat]

Glad to hear yr baby is on the road to recovery...you and yr baby are in my prayers

[Xzavia]

Glad to hear your wee one is feeling better.

[DogsRule]

Glad she's home kuiet! Being a mommmy is so scary sometimes!

[LadyNina]

Nice to hear she's on the road to recovery. We were all very concerned for you. On the other hand, we went to visit your other babies the other day, and they are just honky dory also!

[kuietgrl (got lost)]

Yeah...my other babies...I miss them! lol Poor things were left in their crates ALL day Wednesday when I took the baby to emerg /ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif I didn't think I'd end up there for a whole week...

[LadyNina]

Totally not your fault.... and they have already forgotton about it, so don't worry, BE HAPPY! lol

[MelissaBrian]

good to hear.

[leafs93]

Glad to hear that baby is doing better.

[Light_Keeper]

I am glad to hear your baby has been released from hospital.
Why?May I ask did they not send her to Toronto now rather than waiting to do more tests.? She should be checked out now and the virus may be come immuned to her antiboitics if given over and over again. Please check and inquire why baby needs to wait for testing, take her to TO as soon as you can.
God and Angels surround you and yours

[crazymamma]

So glad to hear that your baby is doing much better!!!

They were going to take her to TO if she had blood in her brain. It was a urinary tract infection which is bacterial, not viral and it's gone now. They're keeping her on the antibiotics to make sure it doesn't come back in case she does have a problem with her bladder...if she does, then something will be done. If her bladder is fine, she'll be taken off the antibiotics.
